Summary: An excellent album
Comment: This excellent album contains eighteen songs that were popular during the WW2 years. The album starts with that well-known hit Juke Box Saturday Night (performed by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra!), and then moves between jazzy hits (such as On The Atchison, Topeka And Santa Fe, and Caldonia) and bluesy tunes (such as There! I've Said It Again, and When My Man Comes Home). I must say, my favorites were two tunes I don't think I have heard before - Ration Blues by Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five, and Marlene Dietrich's German version of Lili Marlene. (I looked around, and found an English version of Lili Marlene, but it didn't have the heart of this German version.)
I must say that I found this to be a very good album. I miss my GI father, who passed away a year ago, and I felt like I captured a little piece of him when I listened to the music he loved all those years ago. So, if you like that great Big Band sound, or want to get a glimpse into the world of WW2, then get this album. I highly recommend it!

Comment: The songs that were a part of the CD were well chosen, and they
fairly represented that era. My husband and I fully enjoyed this CD

Summary: Track titles mixed-up
Comment: This isn't really a review of the songs (I like them.) I just wanted to say that when I put my CD in my PC and opened the player the track titles did not match the songs. They were all mixed-up. For example, when I double-clicked on "Lil Marlene" I got "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe'. Very strange. I have no idea how this happened. The songs all sound great, though. It's just odd that the titles didn't match the actual songs.

Summary: Revies WW@ Vol 2
Comment: I am in mt mid-sixties (1941). I enjoyed Volume 2 better than the original CD. Both were good and if you are from my generation, you should enjoy either one.
